A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 29: From Now On, You Are Mine

She frowned, "Ms. Rhodes spilled the hot soup on me by accident”

“Simple as that?" He asked. He thought she had more to complain.

"Yes. What?" She was confused.

"She did that on purpose!” He was surprised that he should say such thing out loud.

Because he always acted calm in front of people. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“What?!" Sherry opened her dazzling eyes widely. She couldn't believe William's words. "Mr. Rowland, Ms. Rhodes is your woman. Maybe you should protect her instead of accusing her’

She suddenly realized how tall this man was when talking against him. However ... that was not the point! What a cruel man!

He took her virginity, then spoke ill of her!

Indeed, Ms. Rhodes might do that on purpose. But who could prove it?

"You really think it was an accident?" He raised his eyebrows, “Shall I help you get revenge?”

He lowered his head towards her while speaking. His breath and unique smell surrounded her.

Sherry put on a big smile and answered casually, "Why would I take revenge? I'm not mad!"

Next time she would dine at a corner where no one went in order to avoid anything extremely hot.

“Are you really fine without me?" He kept breathing near her ear.

"Mr. Rowland, don't you have anything to do? Why you stand so close to me?” She stuck her finger at his chest angrily. Out of her expectation, his slim body was so strong. Those pectorals hurt her finger like hard rocks!

William was amused. He wrapped her finger with his big palms.

"Stop that!” She retreat her hand.

The elevator opened up at this moment.

It was not her first time sitting in William's Bugatti. He pushed her into the copilot seat like last time.

But this time neither of them spoke. They brought cream for scald from the hospital, which intrigued intense discussions in the company.

Reception, the lobby.

Riley, the reception guy, was on the phone with someone, "Damn! Mr. Rowland is holding Ms. Murray's hands. It's the first time I see him do this ..”

When they came back, William was walking in front of Sherry, who held the cream. She still felt intense pain even though her hand had been treated. William headed to the private elevator, and Sherry automatically walked to the elevator for staff.

William turned back when Sherry was about to leave, he immediately reached out his hand and grabbed her collar. "This way!”

The air in the hallway froze.

Sherry shrank her body a bit, "lll just go that way”

"It's order!"

"Fine!"

Later, the news that the CEO shared his private elevator with Sherry spread.

Back to the top floor.

"Sherry, thank God, you're back” Lara suddenly cared for Sherry.

Sherry frowned a little bit when she saw Lara. She nodded and went back to her seat, saying nothing.

William's emotionless eyes swept through Lara's face in shorter than a second. Deep inside, he had never moved by her beauty.

Lara was startled by how indifferent William was, she mumbled, "Mr. Rowland!”

“Well, you're back, Sherry. What did the doctor say?” Liam always knew when to pop up.

“Everything's fine” Sherry stood up while shaking her head.

Watching two men worrying about Sherry, Lara's jealousy erupted, and her drooping beautiful eyes radiated cold light.

Liam, however, saw everything. He signed to himself: jealousy women were so ugly. They literally had no limit, this time they spill hot water on you. Next time who knew what unfortunate incident would happen.

William's eagle-like sharp eyes swept from Ms. Hines, Alice, Liam to Sherry, and landed on Lara, "Ms. Hines, call the monitoring room and get me the video of the dining room immediately:

Everyone is stunned!

Sherry thought she heard him wrong.

The smile froze on Liam's face.Was he really going to humiliate Lara?

"Yes, I'll do it right away" Ms. Hines made the call immediately.

Lara's face went pale out of fear.

William still wore that cold look, but you can hardly catch the sarcasm flashed by in his eyes. His Satan-like facial expression gave people chills easily.

Then he walked to his office, expressionless.

"Mr. Rowland!" Sherry shouted, out of everyone's expectation.

William stopped his footsteps and turned back. He squinted at her with his emotionless and mysterious eyes.

Everyone was startled for none of them knew what she was going to say.

Sherry lost her words the moment she saw others’ faces. One look at Lara, she lost her desire to say anything, especially in front of everyone. "Nothing!"

William narrowed his eyes before he returned to his office.

Lara still looked as pale as paper.

Liam went to William's office.

When the guy in the monitoring room came to deliver the CCTV taps, Sherry immediately made two cups of coffee and took them to the CEO's office on a tray.

The tapes were placed on the table.

“Mr. Rowland!" Sherry's sight fell on those tapes. "Can you destroy them?"

As expected, both William and Liam fixed their eyes on Sherry after she done asking the question.

"Ms. Murray, what do you mean?" William raised his eyebrows.

Sherry was also straightforward. "I know what you wanna do, Mr. Rowland, but it's unnecessary. Can we just be at peace, isn't that better?”

William and Liam were both a bit surprised.

"Sherry, the CEO is trying to punish a staff who misconduct. Don't mess with it!” Liam really didn't know if Sherry was a softball or a stupid girl.

"Mr. Brooks, I don't care about this. I just don't wanna offend any of my colleagues.” She was a single woman with a child, and was always act carefully in life. She believed that as a human, she should be kind.

“Ms. Murray, how do you know that I ask for the tapes to take revenge for you?" William slowly spit out these words, showing no special emotion.

"What?" Sherry was speechless, then her face got red.

"Ms. Murray, don't flatter yourself” William sneered.

“You're not doing this for Sherry?" Liam disclosed his intention.

But Sherry didn't realize that. Wasn't he doing this for her? Did she misunderstand him? Jesus! Her cheeks spoiled, “I'm sorry, I thought ..."

Looking at him, Sherry thought to herself that maybe she did over-think about it. It was impossible that he would do something to his lover for her.

She looked at him, however, she was incapable to read his mind. What a dangerous man, anyone could lose in his eyes without knowing it.

But she still had her doubts.

Sherry turned around and walked out. The look on her face intended she was trying to figure out things.

“I can't believe’ Liam put on a smart smile, “You should go to war for that little secretary:

“Mind your own business!” William still sounded calm, but a little impatient. He was embarrassed that Liam knew his mind.

“William! It wasn't like that!” Lara let out scare scream. She was completely shocked that William would fire her for Sherry. She didn't even get the chance to be his lover anymore.

William took his hand back from Lara, whose face was twitching. He lighted up a cigarette, then said to her with his raspy voice, "We're over, and you know the reason. I hate women with sneaky minds.”

"William! I'm sorry! I won't do that again!" Lara burst into tears while kneeling down to his feet, "William! I'm sorry!"

"You know what to do. Leave K city. I don't wanna see you here anymore!" he signed a check with a careless attitude, "This is what you deserve!”

“William!”

“Out! Now!” William got rid of her hands and ordered with the cruelest tone ever.

Lara knew this was the end. Tears swirling in her eyes, she cast hateful eyes at William and clutched her fists, "Because of Sherry?”

"Get out!” William scolded.

Lara left at the end, but Sherry was appointed by William to get receipts at the financial department at that time. When she came back, Lara had been gone.

"Sherry, do you know that Lara was fired?" Alice gossiped.

“What?" Sherry mind went blank, "What are you talking about?”

“You don't know? Mr. Rowland fired her. She's gone”

Was that really because of her?

Sherry walked into William's office, "Mr. Rowland, Ms. Rhodes ..”

“How's your hand?" William walked around his table and took her hand naturally. He carefully checked her burn scar and didn't let go until he had confirmed that she put the cream on.

Sherry followed his gentle moves with her eyes, and almost forgot the things she wanted to say, “Mr. Rowland, why did you fire Ms. Rhodes?"

"Because of you!” What a surprising answer! What was more surprising was that he lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead. Before Sherry realized, she had already been in William's arms.

"No!" She panicked. But the next second, William had put his powerful lips on her.

It seemed like a declaration.

It seemed like a declaration that she was his.

Chills went through her back.

The same scene in the man's bathroom at the party once again appeared in her mind. Her body was shaking, struggling to get out his control. His kiss really hurt her. She couldn't take it no more and bit him. The taste of blood pervaded in her mouth, however, instead of letting her go, he kissed even harder.

He was declaring something.

“From now on, you're mine!” He finally let her go.He sounded domineering, but also determined.
